Well hello friend you're welcome here tonight I was just thinking about home And I could use some company all right Sometimes it's hard to be alone You may say I live a memory And I might seek but never find Maybe that is how it's meant to be And I have something on my mind I'm living here in New York City now And I get lonesome now and then Those city lights don't dim the memories Of Tipperary on my mind The dream gets stronger with each passing breeze For love of what I left behind Those city lights don't dim the memories Of Tipperary on my mind Manhattan's tall but not like Galtymore Strange city seem to pass me by There is no place else on earth like home sweet home But out of sight's not out of mind I'm living here in New York City now And I get lonesome now and then Those city lights don't dim the memories Of Tipperary on my mind The dream gets stronger with each passing breeze For love of what I left behind Those city lights don't dim the memories Of Tipperary on my mind Those city lights don't dim the memories Of Tipperary on my mind
